Chapter 150: Riddled with Holes
Meng Ting told me that he was married to a painter who was also well-known in City B. Meng Ting is a well-known reporter for a newspaper in City B, and Meng Ting's parents also think that the two sides are a good match. I don't know much about Meng Ting's family, and Meng Ting's marriage to the painter was entirely due to the pressure of her parents.
She used to live with her parents, but after she returned to City B, her parents frequently urged her to get married, and she couldn't stand it, so she rented a house outside. But her parents still came to the door every now and then, and what they told her was nothing more than introducing her to someone.
During the time when I couldn't contact Meng Ting, Meng Ting took a long leave and turned off all contact tools, she wanted to be alone and quiet, and no one could find her except her parents. Unable to resist the pressure from her parents, she finally agreed to marry the painter. She has also seen painters, counting age, two years older than me, and the length is quite good. When the painter was in his twenties, he was busy doing art exhibitions and did not look for girls.
When he finally became famous, the painter finally wanted to get married, and Meng Ting's parents didn't know where to inquire about this person, so they arranged for him to meet Meng Ting. Meng Ting's age is not young, the age and family of the two are suitable. Meng Ting said, sighing, she said that in the future, she only hopes to live a stable life, she has quit her job at the newspaper, after getting married, she will stay at home, have a child, and have a good relationship when she is old.
Meng Ting also looked at the clock on the wall, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, she asked us to go back quickly, I couldn't rest assured, so I asked her to find her parents to take care of her. Meng Ting told me a phone number, I dialed it from Meng Ting's landline, and the person who answered the phone was a man, listening to the voice, he was very old, and it should be Meng Ting's father.
As soon as I opened my mouth, the man asked me who I was and why I was at Meng Ting's house. Under inquiry, he was indeed Meng Ting's father, I called him Uncle Meng, after listening to my explanation, Uncle Meng spoke more politely, he said that he would come over soon.
Xu Yi and I didn't dare to leave first, and continued to sit in the living room and wait, during which Meng Ting chatted with us, talking about inconsequential topics, if it weren't for me noticing Meng Ting's fists clenched, I would even think she had really figured it out. Half an hour later, Uncle Meng finally arrived with Meng Ting's mother.
As soon as Uncle Meng entered the door, he smelled the burning incense in the house, and the few burning incense sticks had already burned out, but the house was not ventilated, and the smell was still very strong. Uncle Meng saw the photo and the incense altar on the table at a glance, smashed these two things on the ground angrily, and kept stepping on Du Lei's photo with his foot.
Uncle Meng cursed Du Lei fiercely while stepping on it, saying that he had harmed Meng Ting for so many years, and that even if he died, he would still haunt his daughter.
The glass of the photo frame was trampled on, Meng Ting didn't react, and sat on the table in a daze. I stepped forward to dissuade me, but Uncle Meng pushed me away. Uncle Meng had a very big temper, and even Meng Ting's mother stayed aside, not daring to say a word. When I called, I had already told Uncle Meng my name.
Uncle Meng didn't treat us as guests at all, pointed to my face, and said that if he had known that I was Du Lei's friend, he would not have let Meng Ting go on a blind date with me before. As soon as Uncle Meng said this, I understood that Meng Ting and I only met when our parents arranged a blind date, and at that time, Uncle Meng didn't know that I was a friend of Du Lei.
After going back, Meng Ting should not have concealed it, and directly told me about the relationship between me and Du Lei.
Finally, Meng Ting stood up, and she asked Uncle Meng to have any temper at her, not to vent it on her friends. Uncle Meng glanced at me and Xu Yi and told us to get out of here quickly, Meng Ting pulled me and Xu Yi to the door, she apologized to us, saying that her father had such a temper.
Meng Ting smiled apologetically at us and closed the door. It was very dark outside the corridor, and as soon as the door was closed, there was a noise inside, it was the voice of Uncle Meng who kept scolding Meng Ting, Xu Yi and I stood for a long time, and we didn't dare to leave until the sound of the quarrel slowly became smaller.
Xu Yi was still very worried about Meng Ting, but after thinking about it, Uncle Meng and Meng Ting's mother were here, so nothing should happen. Uncle Meng reacted very much to Du Lei, although he had a bad temper, he could still see that he loved his daughter.
Meng Ting was right, this place is not easy to take a car, and we waited for a long time before stopping a taxi.
The car was parked outside the police academy, which was strictly guarded, and except for students, faculty and staff members, everyone else needed to get permission from the school leaders in advance. The police academy is closed, and students are not allowed to leave the police academy, and they are only allowed to leave the school once in a while on public holidays.
When I entered the police academy, there were still the voices of many people doing physical training, and many people had finished training, and everyone would say hello when they saw me. The staff and student dormitories were far away, but they all had to go through the same path, and a few students were walking in front of me and Xu Yi.
It was four schoolgirls, they were discussing something, and they were startled, and as we approached, one of them screamed in fright. When I stopped them and asked them what was going on, they looked frightened and said they were fine, and they looked around nervously as they spoke.
They quickly ran away.
The path was dark, and the streetlights stretched the shadows of me and Xu Yi, and I looked around carefully for a while, but found nothing unusual. Xu Yi smiled and said that I was thinking too much, Xu Yi told me that girls are like this, not all girls in the police academy are very bold, this place is dark, and it is normal for those female students to look like this.
I nodded, and took Xu Yi back to the apartment. Jiang Jun was alone in the living room, and he said his mother had fallen asleep. After Xu Yi and I washed up, we also went back to our room.
The next day, I bought a new mobile phone and called Meng Ting, Meng Ting's behavior was normal, and we didn't have to worry, she told me the location of the wedding, and asked me to take my mother and Xu Yi together. For the next two days, Xu Yi and I stayed in the police academy and did not go out, and in the evening, I would take Xu Yi to the police academy for a walk.
Xu Yi has been missing for so long, and he misses his previous life at the police academy.
It happened to be a holiday, and the police academy gave all teachers and students a three-day holiday, and many students went home.
At around four o'clock in the morning before Meng Ting's wedding, Xu Yi and I were woken up by the rapid ringing of our mobile phones.
It was the leaders of the school who called me, and the police academy gave me a long vacation, and the time was not over yet, and I didn't understand why I received the call so early in the morning. After answering the phone, a panicked voice came from the other end of the receiver, hung up the phone, and I got dressed and went out.
I left Xu Yi at home, inside the police academy, and I was protected by Jiang Jun, I was very relieved.
Before dawn, when I left the gate of the police academy, there were two cars waiting for me. The car drove very fast, and after more than an hour, the car drove through the dirt roads in the countryside, and we finally reached our destination. The leader who called me was at the scene, and he pulled me into a farmhouse and said that this was the scene of the crime.
He called me precisely because of the murder here. Originally, I was not required to come, but he told me that the deceased in the murder was a student of the police academy, and such a crime was extremely bad in nature, and it was necessary to solve the case as quickly as possible. After the murder, the superiors immediately issued instructions, asking the police academy to cooperate with the police force in City B to quickly solve the case.
It was a holiday, and several experts in the police academy were not in the school, and the leader learned that I was back, so he came to me, and according to him, the case was not simple.
When I walked into the farmhouse, it had been two hours since the body was found, and the crime scene was filled with criminal police and forensic personnel.
The quality of the criminal police in City B is very high, and they do not drag their work, and in two hours, many traces of the scene have been extracted. When I saw the corpse, I finally knew why the leader would say that this case was not simple. A total of three bodies were found at the scene, all three of them were women, naked, with many punctures on their bodies, and the only thing intact was their faces.
It was already dawn, and by the first rays of the morning sun, I could see their faces clearly, these three people, three of the four schoolgirls that Xu Yi and I met on the path......
